Self-supervised learning for radio-astronomy source classification: a benchmark
Thomas Cecconello, Simone Riggi, Ugo Becciani +5
The upcoming Square Kilometer Array (SKA) telescope marks a significant step forward in radio astronomy, presenting new opportunities and challenges for data analysis. Traditional…
Continuous Wide-Field Optical Monitoring for Very Early-Phase Transient Discovery
Massimo Della Valle, Maria Teresa Botticella, Enrico Cappellaro +40
The study of transient phenomena in a multimessenger context is expected to remain a major pillar of astrophysical discovery in the decades ahead. Supernovae, Kilonovae, Black-Hole…
SMGPS: A study of Galactic HII regions with extended morphology
Athanaseus J. T. Ramaila, Mark A. Thompson, Oleg M. Smirnov +7
The paper uses the MeerKAT 1.3 GHz Galactic Plane Survey to identify and characterize 1,327 Galactic H II regions, providing distances, Lyman‑photon fluxes, ionising star spectral…
Reinterpreting the development of extensive air showers initiated by nuclei and photons
Manlio De Domenico, Mariangela Settimo, Simone Riggi +1
Ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) interacting with the atmosphere generate extensive air showers (EAS) of secondary particles. The depth corresponding to the maximum developme…
Determination of kinematic distances of WISE & SMGPS H II regions in the Galactic plane using SEDIGISM cloud association
Moses Langa, Mark Thompson, Andrew Rigby +7
The paper presents a method to assign kinematic distances to H II regions by associating them with molecular clouds from the SEDIGISM 13CO survey, producing a catalog of distances…
Coherent and Incoherent Emission from the Ordered Magnetospheres of Low-Mass Stars, UCDs, and Massive Stars
Francesco Cavallaro, Paolo Leto, Barnali Das +15
Massive early-type (B/A) stars and ultracool dwarfs (UCDs) represent two distinct regimes in which ordered, large-scale magnetospheres are observed. In rapidly rotating massive sta…
